Promise Technology

Meta plans to introduce room customization (own logos and posters) in Horizon Workrooms later in 2021.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

True: by 31 Dec 2021, Horizon Workrooms let users customise their rooms with their own logos and/or posters, available to users. Mostly true: it was released in 2021 with minor differences in scope (e.g. logos but not posters). Mostly false: only partly available in 2021 (e.g. a closed test), or released in 2022 or later. False: dated evidence shows the feature was not available by end of 2021.

Set before the research began.

Evidence (2)

  1. E1 Horizon Workrooms 1.2 Adds Customization, New Themes, Lectern UploadVR · 7 December 2021

    “Originally announced back at Connect 2021, the new update lets users upload custom posters and logo graphics to display in the room, as well as pick a room theme.”
  2. E2 Mixed Reality Made Easy, Messenger Calling, Cloud Backup, and More in the Newest Oculus Software Update Meta (Oculus blog) · 30 November 2021 Own record

    “As we announced at Connect, in the coming weeks we’re going to introduce the ability to customize your surroundings in Horizon Workrooms. To start with, you’ll be able to choose from multiple office environments and add your company’s logo or even decorate with custom posters.”

Reasoning

E1 is an independent UploadVR report dated 7 December 2021. It says the Horizon Workrooms 1.2 update, first announced at Connect 2021, lets users upload custom posters and logo graphics to display in the room and choose a room theme. E2 is Meta's own blog from 30 November 2021, which said the feature would arrive in the coming weeks and fits that timeline. Together they show the feature, with both logos and posters, was released to users before 31 December 2021.
